The 2024 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup is the 109th edition of the U.S. Open Cup, the knockout domestic cup competition of American soccer.[1] Houston Dynamo are the defending champions.[2]

On December 15, 2023, Major League Soccer announced that its teams would not participate in the 2024 edition of the U.S. Open Cup due to fixture congestion. This would have been the first year since its inception that MLS teams would not participate in the tournament.[3] The league intended to send reserve teams from MLS Next Pro instead, but the request was denied by the United States Soccer Federation on December 20.[4] An agreement was tempered between the two sides in mid-February, whereby MLS will send some, but not all, of its teams to the Open Cup for 2024, with discussions ongoing for a long-term solution in 2025 and beyond.[5] On March 1, 2024, the official format was announced, with eight MLS first teams and nine MLS Next Pro reserve teams taking part.[6] This is the first edition of the U.S. Open Cup since 2011 where some MLS teams didn't take part in the competition[7] and the first since 2015 where MLS reserve sides participated.
